歷代志下 14
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
World English Bible
1亞比雅 與他列祖同睡，葬在 大衛城 裏。他兒子 亞撒 接續他作王。 亞撒 年間，國中太平十年。
1So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in David’s city; and Asa his son reigned in his place. In his days, the land was quiet ten years.
2亞撒 行耶和華－他上帝眼中看為善為正的事，
2Asa did that which was good and right in the LORD his God’s eyes,
3除掉外邦神的壇和邱壇，打碎柱像，砍下木偶，
3for he took away the foreign altars and the high places, broke down the pillars, cut down the Asherah poles,
4吩咐 猶大 人尋求耶和華－他們列祖的上帝，遵行他的律法、誡命；
4and commanded Judah to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, and to obey his law and command.
5又在 猶大 各城邑除掉邱壇和日像，那時國享太平；
5Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the sun images; and the kingdom was quiet before him.
6又在 猶大 建造了幾座堅固城。國中太平數年，沒有戰爭，因為耶和華賜他平安。
6He built fortified cities in Judah; for the land was quiet, and he had no war in those years, because the LORD had given him rest.
7他對 猶大 人說：「我們要建造這些城邑，四圍築牆，蓋樓，安門，做閂；地還屬我們，是因尋求耶和華－我們的上帝；我們既尋求他，他就賜我們四境平安。」於是建造城邑，諸事亨通。
7For he said to Judah, “Let’s build these cities and make walls around them, with towers, gates, and bars. The land is yet before us, because we have sought the LORD our God. We have sought him, and he has given us rest on every side.” So they built and prospered.
8亞撒 的軍兵，出自 猶大 拿盾牌拿槍的三十萬人；出自 便雅憫 拿盾牌拉弓的二十八萬人。這都是大能的勇士。
8Asa had an army of three hundred thousand out of Judah who bore bucklers and spears, and two hundred eighty thousand out of Benjamin who bore shields and drew bows. All these were mighty men of valor.
9有 古實 王 謝拉 率領軍兵一百萬，戰車三百輛，出來攻擊 猶大 人，到了 瑪利沙 。
9Zerah the Ethiopian came out against them with an army of a million troops and three hundred chariots, and he came to Mareshah.
10於是 亞撒 出去與他迎敵，就在 瑪利沙 的 洗法谷 彼此擺陣。
10Then Asa went out to meet him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.
11亞撒 呼求耶和華－他的上帝說：「耶和華啊，惟有你能幫助軟弱的，勝過強盛的。耶和華－我們的上帝啊，求你幫助我們；因為我們仰賴你，奉你的名來攻擊這大軍。耶和華啊，你是我們的上帝，不要容人勝過你。」
11Asa cried to the LORD his God, and said, “LORD, there is no one besides you to help, between the mighty and him who has no strength. Help us, LORD our God; for we rely on you, and in your name we have come against this multitude. LORD, you are our God. Don’t let man prevail against you.”
12於是耶和華使 古實 人敗在 亞撒 和 猶大 人面前， 古實 人就逃跑了；
12So the LORD struck the Ethiopians before Asa and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.
13亞撒 和跟隨他的軍兵追趕他們，直到 基拉耳 。 古實 人被殺的甚多，不能再強盛，因為敗在耶和華與他軍兵面前。 猶大 人就奪了許多財物，
13Asa and the people who were with him pursued them to Gerar. So many of the Ethiopians fell that they could not recover themselves, for they were destroyed before the LORD and before his army. Judah’s army carried away very much booty.
14又打破 基拉耳 四圍的城邑；耶和華使其中的人都甚恐懼。 猶大 人又將所有的城擄掠一空，因其中的財物甚多，
14They struck all the cities around Gerar, for the fear of the LORD came on them. They plundered all the cities, for there was much plunder in them.
15又毀壞了群畜的圈，奪取許多的羊和駱駝，就回 耶路撒冷 去了。
15They also struck the tents of those who had livestock, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, then returned to Jerusalem.
